Using the Tabs Widget

Abstract

The tabs widget is superficially similar to the accordion that I described in Chapter 19 but offers more functionality and opportunities for customization. In common with the earlier widget chapters, I start with details of how to create the widget and then show you the settings, methods, and events that the widgets support. I finish this chapter with an example of how you can use the tabs widget to present forms to users in sections, which is a useful technique for dealing with long forms that require a lot of data input.
